Exactly how is the key being one sided a big problem?  Doesn't work one
way?  Just turn it over.  Simple solution.  Two sided keys seem to me a
solution to a non-problem, but it's one I'm not fussing about.  BTW, my
'91 Vanagon GL Campmobile uses a two sided key.  However, the separate
little key for the glove box is one sided.  Never use that thing.
Anyone who gets into the car, and is determined to rifle the glove box
is going to do so, locked or not.

Electronic keys?  Big, new ew problem to fix a non-problem.  Even if the
entire ignition system is electronic, a mechanical key and lock could be
used, in lieu of the electronic key and button I have.  With the
electronic key and entry system I have for one vehicle, if the battery
is depleted, I have to use the mechanical key supplied for entry only to
get in my car.  But, then what to do?  Service the battery, then
reprogram everything ............. .  But, oh well ............ .  David
